National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir responded to the State Comptroller and Public Complaints Commissioner's report, which revealed a 500% increase in complaints filed against his ministry in 2024 - primarily regarding gun license issues. The National Security Ministry stated: "Ben Gvir is proud of the report's results and sees it as a badge of honor. Only someone who works can produce such a report. Minister Ben Gvir expanded the criteria (for issuing gun licenses), the legal adviser put obstacles in the way - hence there were delays - which have been addressed."
